YarrrRRRRRR!

Speedyer mate,

imma not bankin' that technology will save us, but its me only hope. think of all the baby boomers who are putting away a pittance for their retirement. they all know they shall age. they all know they may get sick, and somewhere, buried in their awareness, is the recognition that they aren't saving properly for their final decade or two here on earth.

so what are they hoping for?

they are hoping that somehow, despite evidence to the contrary, it all works out in the end. thats what i am hoping happens too, for the enviornment.

and to the mighty Viper,

watching all the "planet in peril" documentaries in the world are not going to change the minds of peoples who be believing that mankind-induced global warming is a farce. if anything, if you make'm watch them shows, they just feel mounting contempt (for contempt, see post above this one), and impatience, and white knuckled anger...or they'd just laugh their arses off.

imagine if you put Moon in a theatre seat and pried his eyelids open (a la clockwork orange, poor alex, aye!) and made him watch fox news, 24/7. do you think that would change his mindset?

the real problem is that even those who do sorta believe that man is speeding up global warming aren't living their lives as if their lives depended on reversing the trend. we all just party on, drink our rum, and do our thing.

ok, ok, maybe we recycle or somethin', but thats probably about it.

AHOY!
